For 10 keepers, my choice would probably be Mackinnon, Marchand, Laine, Schenn, Boeser, Barzal, Keller, Karlsson, Ristolainen, Murray.
One thing that really concerns me is that I am keeping too many rookies and only two D's.

Which players should I keep next year?
Should I keep OEL instead of a guy like Barzal?

Uggh. I hate having to even write those words considering that I traded away Ghost during the very early part of his rookie season to acquire Keith, after Keith's owner fell in love after 10 or so games. I though it was a huge win for me at the time :slap: Anyway, now I have to decide if he's even worth keeping. Is this guy a 40 pt guy moving forward, low goal totals. Maybe 2 years worth of fringe value? That's kind of where I peg him, as this year has been kind of a disaster for him. Any insight? My Defense categories are 1 pt for assist, 2 pts for goals, and we keep 4 d-men (my others are Klingberg, Yandle, McAvoy). I'm considering keeping Montour instead. Oh, to go back in time...

In a keeper league with a salary cap. Categories are G, A, PPP, Hit, Blk.

Shattenkirk
Fowler
McDonagh

Curious what you guys think about Parayko going froward, seems like he is settling in as a 2-3 guy with 2nd PP time (I think he rotated through 1st PP this year with Pietro at some points throughout the season too).

My D men are Josi, Krug, Parayko and a bunch of fillers (Vatanen, Myers etc.), Keeping Krug and Josi for sure but not sure on Parayko.

Do you ever see him as a 45-50 point guy or more a 30-35 with 2nd PP.

I have an extra keeper spot for him, if unused I just move up a round in our draft.

HELP!

NOTE: Team in sig is outdated current team is: Ovy, Benn, P. Kane, Duchene, Josi, Krug, Price and Rinne.

I know what my keepers are, just need some advice on who is on the bottom of the barrel (both from a production and longterm health of my team standpoint) if I do need to cash a player in for picks/assets.

Might be going under the radar here because the Rangers are done, but Neal Pionk has 9 assists in 17 games including 3 last night. He was involved in a ton of great plays defensively too.

Which dman do you like better long term? 1-3 years? 3-5 years? And what's your reasoning. Seth Jones or Charlie McAvoy

G, A, +/-, PPP, SHP, GWG, Hits, BS

Whats up with this guy. Still 26 (a year away from the magic age of 27 for dmen) and has a hold on the top PP and plays with the top line most of the time and has had a torrid pace for the first and third quarter of this season..

His PPG is .78 this year compared to .63 last year and is 4 points away from beating his best set last year with 20 less games played currently.

Its natural to be concerned in a Keeper league when McAvoy is breathing down your neck as a potential top tier d man. My question is, is his pace sustainlable 2-3 years? Have we yet to see the best of him or will McAvoy slowly eat up his prime minutes on PP and on the top line?

(I was unsure where to put this as it's a defense & goalie question, but is more about what to do with my current defenders. Has nothing to do with forwards, so the default didn't apply.)

With the Capitals defensive decline and Carlson's looming free agency, I have an issue on the back end of my dynasty team in signature. I've had Holtby for a number of seasons, and he's been generally very good, but this has been his worst year, and I have a fairly good alternative in Freddie Andersen. I currently roster 3 Capitals defenders to get a small boost, and fill out the rest of my 6 starting D with offensive guys. I'm considering moving on from the Capitals, and going with the Leafs. If Carlson leaves Washington in free agency, I would almost certainly do this next season, barring another elite offensive defender arriving there.

I finished second in my division and am progressing in the playoffs. If I win or tie this week, I am in the finals, which runs over mutliple weeks. If I lose this week, next week is the series tiebreaker.

League format (I know this is going to be confusing): The league only counts goals & assists, and requires starting at least 2 defensemen from the same team as your starting goalie; if you start more than 2, you get a boost to your save percentage for the week's matchup. The only goalie stat is save percentage, NHL shutouts get a bonus on top of the 1.000. Only the first game of the league week counts, so matchups are very variable, and results as well. If my starter doesn't play in his team's NHL game of record, then my backup counts, and if the backup(s) don't play, I get the stats for whomever plays for the NHL team of the starter. Modified save percentages are compared head to head.

My options as I see them are:

1. Stick with Carlson/Orlov/Niskanen (or maybe another Caps defender) starting with Holtby. No other Caps defenders are owned.

Fantrax keeper pool. Do I dress Josi for week even though he is showing day to day?

Fowler seems to finally have a strong hold on the Duck's PP and has put up some good numbers. Going into next year (assuming he keeps this spot) looks like he is primed for a career year. What do you think his ceiling is going forward?

Having some trouble deciding between the two as replacements for an injured player. This is a cap league and I think they are my best options. Cats are G, A, STG, STA, plus-minus, PIM, SOG, Hits, Blocks, GWG, FOW. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
